FOO Heong Restaurant in Cintra Street, Penang, was the place to go to for delicious sar hor fun (fried rice noodles with thick gravy) infused with wok hei (sufficient intensity of heat) from the 1970s up to the late 2010s.

The restaurant, which mainly served Cantonese dishes, has since closed down and the building is up for sale.
